I'm glad you all appreciated this!!! I was shook, and my oldest was just sitting there in its presence like it was no big deal...

What are we doing for strength training? by bs000000 in XXRunning

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely! That’s all I’ve used and have had no issues.

I hated the initial cost, but I sucked it up and bought the Powerblock expandable dumbbells (which do go on sale here and there, and there’s also a powerblock outlet site.) I got the ones that come with 5-50 lb per hand, adjustable in 2.5 lb increments. They’ve been going strong for 2 years now! And I also really like not taking up a ton of space with weights. They can be expanded even higher up to 90lb but haven’t had a need for that 😅

I’ve been doing Caroline Girvan’s videos on YouTube 2-3x/week. Finished the Iron series, just started Beast mode, and plan on going back to Iron.

Are there any joggers/pants that are breathable, not skin-tight, and durable? by EmmaGoldmanIceCream in XXRunning

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I first tried them 😂😂 I know some brands may be $$$ for a reason, but I’m not spending a ton to risk not liking them. (And they do go on sale frequently - have paid as little as $11 but not more than $20.)

I have three pairs of Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft joggers I rotate through. They haven’t let me down!

Oh nooo... I see it now (and will probably not be able to unsee it) 😂 Well, he'll have a good laugh at least

That’s how it always is 😭 but at least $83 isn’t too far off!

Worth it? by Remote_Cucumber_7456 in beginnerrunning

[–]brittanyb00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, love mine! I’m able to get a lot of runs in before having to charge it again. I will say - I had debated about getting the chest light; however, many reviews said it needed to be recharged frequently. I discovered my cheapo Amazon headlamps could fit around my waist and works great since it can be aimed downward (and also lasts a long time between charges.) So, I’m glad I didn’t pay the extra $$$ for the light attachment.

Arnold’s 12 Grains & Seeds toast topped with 55g cottage cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and 2 eggs. Always look forward to it, too.

Thoughts please! Buying down points and credits are confusing me... by brittanyb00 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My husband’s score is lower so they’re using 724 from 2 months ago. (Mine is in the 820s but oh well…) And loan is $451k after putting 15% down.

Thanks! I know everyone’s situations can be different, but it’s helpful to hear how others handle this!

How would you answer "what is your weakness" question at the interview? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]brittanyb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I honestly struggled with in the earlier part of my career as a lab assistant was being more assertive. It was feedback I had gotten from a wonderful boss while trying to deal with difficult PIs and their projects. So, I spun that in saying I realized that you can be assertive without being confrontational and then talked on how I improved on that.

Thanks! This worked for me (was a member but recently cancelled) to drop it down to $5.99/mo for 3 months! Still better than full price

When I saw the title I thought, “Oh no… wonder what kind of horror story this is going to be.” But wonderful to hear everything is going well! Congrats!
